Kolkata : In a shocking incident, a pregnant woman was allegedly "strip-searched" at Lokapriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport, Guwahati after CISF lady staff wanted to verify her pregnancy.

The incident, which took place on June 24, has come to light now. The pregnant woman was returning to Delhi from Guwahati with her husband after attending the last rituals of her father in Guwahati.

According to the reports, the couple Shivam Sarmah and Doli Goswami, who live in Delhi, came to Guwahati on June 12 after Doli Goswami's father passed away on June 11.

After attending last rituals, the couple had travelled from Guwahati to Delhi by SpiceJet flight SG-169 on June 24.

What's more shocking is that instead of getting a medical professional to examine her pregnancy, a lady CISF staff manually examined the pregnant woman by pushing her abdomen. Doli Goswami presently 25 weeks pregnant.

According to the reports, Shivam Sarmah, husband of Doli Goswami, had requested the SpiceJet staff to arrange a wheelchair for his wife but the CISF staff did not hand them over their boarding passes and asked the pregnant woman to show proof of her pregnancy.

"The lady CISF staff asked my wife to accompany her to a room and forced her to undress. The CISF lady staff also pushed my wife's abdomen to check pregnancy," Shivam Sarmah took to twitter to express his anguish.

CISF has taken the matter seriously after the tweet and has initiated an enquiry into the matter.

Pune, Nov 16: Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis continued to raise the pitch on "vote jihad" by playing a video of Islamic scholar Sajjad Nomani at a poll rally in Pune's Bhosari area on Saturday.

It is being said that a person who votes for the BJP must be ostracised, Fadnavis claimed.

"If these people are trying to do vote jihad, if they are saying they will destabilise the government through vote jihad, then you will also have to do dharmayudh of votes," Fadnavis said.

"If these people dream that they will come to power with the help of votes from one community in the land of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, then you will also have to come to the battlefield," he said in a swipe at the MVA.
